0 all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, JOHN T. Snurson, a acitizen of the United States, and residing in Newark, in the county ofEssex and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and usefulDoor and Window Structure, of. which the following is a specification.

The object I have in view is the pro uction of a dooror windowstructure, may be made entirely of metal, and w will be cheap toconstruct, which will. comply with the requirements of cities wherefireproof doors and windows must be used in certain structures, and withother advantages as will more fully appear from the-fob lowingspecifications and accompanying drawings, considered together orseparately. In the drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of two windowsembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an elevation o a door embodying myinvention. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1. Fig. l is asection on the line 4-'4. of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a section of the verticaland horizontal member which engages with the sash or panel. Fig. 6 is anenlarged view of the lower corner of a window or door, being taken onthe line 6'6 of Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a section, at right angles, of Fig. 6,taken on the line of Fig. 6. ig. 8 is a section on the line 8--8 of Fig.6. I

In all of the views, like parts are desig: nated by the same referencecharacters. In carryin out my invention I provide 35 stiles 1, 1 anrails 2, 2, all the parts being roperly proportioned'for the purpose forI which they are intended. The stiles and rails are made of sheetmaterial, preferably sheet steel, rolled in roper cross section. oftlie'stiles is shown in The edges 3 are bent inward an ,of the stile, and arethen bent outward an upward, as shown, forming a gutter 0 section with alip 16, as shown. the stile,.whioh engages ..hooked cross The inner face0 with the sash or panel, is formed-of a mem'-.

her 4 of peculiar cross section, trated in Fig. 5. This member t has aweb 5 and flanges 6, 6 on one side of the web.

' On the other side it is provided with a flange a 7, a flange 8, an

flange 9. The edge. of this flange!) toward the flange 8 may. be beveledor chamfered,

run parallel with the sides.

a larger intermediate sent to create an ornamental appearance. The.edges of the member are bent at 10. 'The size of the member is such thatwhen used in connection with the stile and rails as described, the edges3 of the latter will rest upon the outer faces of the two 6. The twoparts are secured togather by bending the edges 10 into contact 5 withthe hooked gutters 3, 3.

' Figs. (1 4. illustrate theposition that as shown,

. 3 an theedges 10 will-assume after they have been bent. The bendingoperation maybe conveniently done in a continuous operation by rolling,the flanges 6, 6 serving as supports to sustain the bases of the gutters3 when the edges- 10 are being forced; into position. The flanges 7 8andS support the glass of the window or the panel of the door. I preferto make the support as shown in my co-pending application for patent,executed asof even date herewith filed September 8, 1910, Serial No.581,023. For use in windows or doors in which putty shaken out, I preferto use moldings 11, which lie between the glass 12, or panel, and theflange 7, clamping the lass or panel against the flange 9. uitablefilling material 14 (as utty) may be. laced around the edge of t 'eglass. molding is securedin position by rivets or pins15. i

The joint between is made as follows: gutter 3 which comes in rail isstraightened out, 8, the lip 16, as shown in ing obliterated. fore,rests against the gutter, flush outer surface and at the formin afoundation or the rai The'lower edges flanged inwardly at; 17 the railis carried out; ment with such flanged portion. The parts .are suitablysoldered or brazed tngether, it being apparent that the edge 3andflangev F 17 will form a backing t prefer .to employ thewell-knownmeth acetylene-oxygenwelding. j;-
